To celebrate the release of the 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Human Clay, Creed is releasing a brand new music video for the album opener, “Are You Ready?.” The live performance music video was filmed over the first week of the band’s sold-out “Summer of ‘99” tour that is currently running through North America. Creed – comprised of Scott Stapp, Mark Tremonti, Brian Marshall and Scott Phillips – has been playing to capacity audiences since the tour kicked off on July 17th. Directed by Dan Sturgess, the video for “Are You Ready?” captures the band’s triumphant return to the stage after 12 years and can be seen here: https://found.ee/areyoureadymv.
In September 1999, Creed—a rising rock band from Tallahassee, FL—released their sophomore album, Human Clay. Full of anthemic hits, including “Higher,” “What If,” “Are You Ready?,” and the GRAMMY®-winning “With Arms Wide Open,” Human Clay propelled Creed to the top of the Billboard charts, going on to become one of the best-selling albums of all time. Now available everywhere, the deluxe edition (2-CD and digital) features the newly remastered original album, plus a wealth of bonus material, including a complete, never-before-heard concert recording, captured in San Antonio, TX in 1999.
The digital edition offers six additional bonus tracks, including alternate versions of “Higher” and “With Arms Wide Open,” and a cover of the Doors classic “Roadhouse Blues” featuring the Doors guitarist and founding member, Robby Krieger (recorded live at Woodstock ’99). The original album can also be found on various limited edition color pressings. All formats can be streamed/ordered at https://found.ee/humanclay25.
Released in September 1999, Human Clay cemented Creed as certified superstars, debuting at No.1 on the Billboard 200, where it remained for a record-breaking 104 weeks. The album’s first single, “Higher,” spent a whopping 57 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No.7, and topping the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts for 17 weeks. The 2x Platinum single “With Arms Wide Open,” became Creed’s first No.1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100—a spot it held for four weeks – and earned the band a GRAMMY for Best Rock Song and a nod for Best Rock Vocal Performance. Recently, the band released their iconic music videos in HD. Head to Creed’s official YouTube channel to watch the newly restored videos for the album’s iconic music videos “With Arms Wide Open,” “What If,” and “Higher,” alongside the new video for “Are You Ready?“.
Human Clay has sold over 11 million copies in the US alone, achieving a rare Diamond certification by the RIAA. In 2009, it ranked at No.5 on Billboard’s 200 Albums of the Decade roundup. Today, it remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in the US, while it has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Additionally, the band’s Greatest Hits collection continues to climb the contemporary charts, with the 2004 collection resurfacing in Top Rock Albums (currently No.22), Top Rock & Alternative Albums (No.27), Top Alternative Albums (No.13), and now entering its 19th consecutive week in the Billboard 200 (No.119).
